PREFACE

The new TOEIC test was first administered in May, 2006 with tasks redesigned to be “more authentic” and “more closely resemble what a person using the language in the real world would have to do.” According to ETS, the new TOEIC test

emphasizes authentic language contexts which require learners to use multiple

strategies and abilities to comprehend and connect information While the number of test items and the basic test format remain unchanged, several major changes

are introduced: a shift from individual questions to sets of questions in Part 3, a replacement of error-recognition questions by text-completion questions in Part 6, the inclusion of questions based on two-interrelated passages in Part 7 and the use

of a broader range of accents in the Listening section These changes reflect the test designers’ commitment to continuous reevaluation and improvement of the test while addressing the need to ensure high TOEIC scores actually correlate with

real ability to communicate in English Time will tell whether, and how well, the new TOEIC test can improve the accuracy in measuring the testtakers’ proficiency,

but it is clear that the enhancements in the new test do reflect how the language is used in a more authentic setting It is also clear that the new test will pose new

challenges to most testtakers, who have been more or less comfortable with the

traditional version of the test for many yeats

The TOEIC ICON series is designed to help you cope with these new challenges

basic vocabulary and grammar patterns and provides the users with extensive
